History NightmareFuel / HaruhiSuzumiya

* Haruhi. Just... just [[RealityWarper Haruhi]]. The fact that the world could be rewritten or destroyed on the subconscious whim of a teenage girl is bad enough, and Haruhi isn't exactly a glowing example of one.

*** This is made [[FridgeHorror even moreso]] once you realize that [[spoiler: this particular Ryoko Asakura isn't actually the same Asakura from ''Melancholy'' and had actually spent the entire previous part of the film acting as a genuinely nice and caring person, making the entire reveal at the end so much more surprising for some. Either that or she's even more of a psychopath than the real Asakura.]]*** [[spoiler: There's a part where she spins around and splatters some of Kyon's blood all over Nagato's face]]*** Even the quiet scenes with her in Disappearance. The slow-mo walk into the classroom and totally innocuous behaviour are kind of disturbing. Given Kyon's reaction, the whole thing plays like he ran into a serial killer at the grocery store. And because it [[spoiler: seems like everyone is different here, he has to adjust to someone who stabbed him in another timeline sitting behind him in class.]]

** Yuki's [[spoiler: AndIMustScream throughout Endless Eight. It doesn't hit you until you [[FridgeHorror think about the concept]] of being trapped in a loop for over 595 years, without being able to express discontent, or even inform the others early on to make it end sooner, because her superiors won't allow it.]]* Haruhi's very existence is nightmare fuel in itself. Imagine that your very existence and that of everything around you was dependent on the smallest whim of an emotionally unstable jerkass. One that could tear down the very fabric of reality and change everything around you, including you just because she didn't like something. And you probably wouldn't even know that you were erased from existence and then rebuilt according to her whim.** It's actually not that bad. The universe doesn't change that drastically on her whims, at most while unaware of her power she can change causality or have events happen that she truly believes happened. She's limited by herself, she can't outright change the world just because she wants to. She has to actually believe that's how the world was. And despite her personality she has a firm grasp on what's considered normal. Yes, she can change things she's unaware of, but at that point it has less of an impact on the general public.

* The Shinjin/Celestials. They're [[HumanoidAbomination bizarre titans]] that only appear in closed space, and exist only to wreck everything. If the Organization doesn't get rid of them, the closed space spreads, and threatens to [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt overtake the world.]]

The scene was heading in a direction where Koizumi was going to kiss her. We knew before that Haruhi had some messed up morals, but this was going a bit too far, considering that [[spoiler:this girl could control the universe. Her power mixed with this particular situation is a bit off putting. Imagine how far it could have gone.]]

* The events in ''Disappearence'' happened because Yuki wound up developing emotions. By the end of the movie, her emotions are purged and everything is back to normal... Or so you think until you see TheStinger, where Yuki observes a small boy getting a friend a library card. It's a cute moment, which serves as a CallBack to a point earlier in the movie where, in the alternate timeline, Kyon had gone out of his way to do the same for Yuki, which, in that timeline, was how they first met (in the original timeline, Kyon had gotten Yuki the card just to get her out of the library). Cue a chill down your spine as you realize "Oh shit, Yuki's developing emotions again!"
